Lift Me

Speak to me words of happiness today Reap what you sow for my utter dismay It's incredible how time flies nowadays It's indescribable - this emotion I held on to for so many days Lift me...what about you lift me? Give me...give me a reason to believe Relieve the scars inside me, baby Drifting away from His lane...now, I grieve This emotion caught me under its wicked spell My devotion, my darling love...where do you dwell? There is a river of hope between us, so don't worry There is a maze we must get through to feel happy Lift me and you'll see that I am stronger Than you realize and I will show you straight In the eyes...you're blind and I no longer Mind that you desert me with horrendous hate The grains of sand is dangling on the bottom of my feet I need to understand where I stand to feel complete Speak to me words of passionate delight, so I can see the light tonight Open up the corridors of my pure strength, so I can fight the good fight Lift me up higher than the clouds above I am down and about in the streets of darkness Encourage me to ascend with your love I am walking this town of distressful discreetness Let me sleep in benevolent bliss, Not in despair or hopelessness I lay down in bed, wide awake again Wondering where my mind has been… Lift me...lift me up, dear, and you'll be so amazed At what I can do...I am longing to overcome The waves of emotion that left us in a sad daze Mend the bullet wounds that left me numb The mirror reflects this worthlessness inside The shallow waters below me is where I'll hide Your shadow of shame embraced the moonlight I seek the sunshine of better days every night Lift me higher again and again and again Take me out of my dark and desolate den Uplift me with your shimmering might too Sift out the strife and make me a brighter blue I am trying to breathe in the flames of your passion I am flying a little bit more and I smile with compassion I pray that happiness comes my way every single minute of every single day I must say how proud I am to feel the way I feel today or actually tonight, but hey Hey, hey, hey, hey What about you lift me? What about today? I pray that you set me free… Lift me up from where I lay Don't just leave me be in misery Darling of delight and light, You're my sunny day Amongst a night of awful fright Baby, be with me today I wish you were free with me… Hey, what about tonight? What about you lift me eternally? Forever eager to take flight.. No longer lingering around the crowd of disarray No longer do I feel the need to cry due to dismay I will keep on smiling during my hardships from now on, Lord Most High Oh, I will be walking a million miles just to resist temptation that's nigh
